Default Blue or Red hoses ?

Hi All, I have a 02 Suzuka Blue S. I want to dress up the engine bay by replacing at the black hoses with either blue or red ones. What do you guys think will look better. Again, my car is Suzuka Blue in color. I was thinking about going with the red to compliment the valve cover but wasn't sure how that would look with the engine bay being Blue. If anyone has pics of their engine bays with colored hoses, please post,I would love to see what everyone else is doing. Thanks in advance.

When you say hoses, do you mean just the radiator hoses or everything under the hood? Personally I wouldn't get too carried away with colored hoses as it might cheapen the look. Changing a few like the radiator hoses would look good. IMO blue would look good on your color combo.

Unless your gunna powder coat your head blue going.with the red looks best.

To much bblue will.be way over kill and the.blue.hoses you get are noteven close to.suzuka blue in color.

Its you car you do what you want. All that is just my. 02. ( but I did do.red hoses myself but drive a.silverstone)

I wouldn't change more than the radiator hose. Any more and it looks like rice but to each his own.

I agree, its pretty ricey and makes everything look cheap. Here is the engine bay of my 02 Suzuka, its just clean and simple. I always get compliments on it.

Thanks all for the response. suzuka-blue-s2k, your engine looks great, I think I'll wait a bit a decide what I want to do especially after looking at bumblebee01s pics, I'm sorry dude, but the blue hoses just DON NOT GO WITH THE COLOR OF THE CAR. My engine bay Looks awesome as it stands right now [ SUPER CLEAN ] just thought by adding some hoses would make it look even better. suzuka blue s2k, I'm also thinking about the K&N INTAKE SYSTEM next yr, I think these system sounds awesome..
